Goldsmith, who served at the Justice Department during the administration of George W. Bush and resigned after a dispute over the legal justifications for “enhanced interrogation” techniques, spoke on Tuesday about the DNC hack during a Yale University panel.

“Assuming that the attribution is accurate,” Goldsmith said, “the US has very little basis for a principled objection.” In regard to the theft of data from the DNC and others, Goldsmith said that “it’s hard to say that it violates international law, and the US acknowledges that it engages in the theft of foreign political data all the time.”
